Abstract
The Radiometric Emanation Method (REM) was used for the characterizati on of barrier properties of protective coatings. Radon diffusion param eters of the hardened protective layers prepared from ORMOCER lacquers of varying compositions were examined. The differences in the barrier properties of non weathered and weathered ORMOCER coatings, as well a s of INCRALAC coatings, were compared. REM is recommended for the char acterization of barrier properties of protective coatings submitted to weathering at varying conditions and time.
